<p>In Daytona we get a few, few NASCAR peeps.</p>
<p>Some that do the production work, Carl Edwards, and our locals that do the circuit....</p>
<p>It's a matter of time.</p>
<p><strong>Strange though the NASCAR guys want to go play the course "Lefty" all day!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Go figure?</strong></p>

<p>I appreciate the growth I've seen in the sport in just the last couple years. I preach the game to all that will listen and have introduced disc golf to at least a dozen people. These people have done the same. Keep playing the game with a righteous attitude. Remember that each time we play, we represent the sport as a whole. If you want to get respect one has to at first give it.</p>

<p>I've been playing since about March of this year. I've played many different sports in my life.. so I will compare the ones I'm familiar with.. One post at a time.</p>
<p>Pros = what we should emulate, Cons = what we shouldn't.</p>
<p>1. Ball Golf</p>
<p>Pros = The exciting apparel. I'm serious. It's like women/girls on Halloween who get to dress up as slutty as they want and nobody can say anything. When I play golf I sport the loudest dumbest looking shirt, shorts, or pants I…</p>

<p>Pros = what we should emulate, Cons = what we shouldn't.</p>
<p>1. Ball Golf</p>
<p>Pros = The exciting apparel. I'm serious. It's like women/girls on Halloween who get to dress up as slutty as they want and nobody can say anything. When I play golf I sport the loudest dumbest looking shirt, shorts, or pants I can find. Its freeing. People don't say anything except "He must have been playing golf".</p>
<p><br/>Cons = Tearing up all the native fauna to replace it with water intensive grass in a water depleted world. Ball golf courses are beautiful and everything but just not worth it. I really enjoy the fact that disc golf works with its surroundings instead of making the surroundings work to it.</p>
<p><br/>*On a side note.. I do enjoy throwing a golf club in frustration more than throwing a disc in frustration after a bad shot.. because typically the disc will THEN fly perfectly and very far away.. which I then have to go get which then adds to the frustration. Where as a golf club not so much..</p>

<p>*Getting the press into any sort of tournament you can also a great idea. Especially if your are donating to any cause. I've never seen anything on any sort of media around here in Tampa in regards to Disc Golf. =(</p>

<p>Started this post not as a comparison to "ball" golf, but to all other sports.</p>
<p>Curling seems to get more respect...</p>
<p>Disc golf has an image problem.... how do you shake it.</p>
<p>Or embrace it.</p>
<p>Look at skateboarding..... it is not a crime to skateboard.</p>
<p>What saved Xtreme sports was money.</p>
<p>The X games and promotion of money and sponsors brought it to the mainstream, making it cool to do that which is not 'normal' putting yourself at risk...</p>
